Do you remember this kitchen table? 

My folks had one in the 1950's.

Left one on these (in yellow yellow) in my grandmothers basement in 2005.  Was in fairly pristine condition, though even the consignment shops didn't want it at the time.

WOW,  You just about covered all of my interests, and activities.  Growing up;  on your list.  It covers a typical middle class life experience, growing up in America.  During a certain time period.  

AND THERE IS NO WAY;  I AM OLDER THAN DIRT!!

I did not have one of these games as a kid but they were very popular in the 1950's. 

How about you?

Remember the slide Hockey Games, I had the steel vibrating electric football that didn't work all that well.

I liked those Hockey games, I had a friend that had one, & there actually was some skill to it.   

 

I found a Roger Staubach's ABC's Monday Night Football in my parents attic a few years back, it was a table top game that had a lamp underneath that would illuminate the play yardage on the field.

I had an old pair of these roller skates in our garage until we downsized to move into our retirement center.

(1 comment) I was born in the 50's and remember trips to Woolworth with my Mamamae (grandma).

 

We did food and merchandise.

 

Their "shakes" were DELICIOUS!!!

 

She purchased her crochet threads from them. A very talented lady who taught me to crochet. She did a dress and to this day I still "marvel" at this.
